the country’s nuclear crisis, in its strongest remarks about its
own shortcomings.", szef Tepco Hirose mowi: “Our
safety culture, skills and ability were all insufficient,”.

“Fukushima
Daiichi is still in an extremely unstable condition, there is no
mistake about that,. (...)We cannot rule out the
possibility that similar problems might occur again. Whenever a
problem occurs, it halts the plant’s operations and delays the
primary goal of decommissioning the plant.”

"A
dinner of boiled vegetables and 3.3 square meters of floor space for
sleeping—those are the harsh conditions awaiting laborers who
undertake government-mandated decontamination work necessitated by
the nuclear accident at Tokyo Electric’s Fukushima Daiichi nuclear
power plant in Fukushima Prefecture. In some cases, workers are
basically laboring for free when taxpayer-funded danger pay is
excluded from their pay packets."

“I
wasn’t treated like a human being,” said a 59-year-old man from
Aomori Prefecture who engaged in decontamination work in Tamura City
for about two months from September of last year. He and three other
workers were made to sleep in a tiny 13-square meter bungalow. He was
also shocked when served his first dinner. “The only side dishes to
go along with a bowl of rice were boiled eggplant, bean sprouts and
bell peppers.”

"According
to one former Fukushima resident, however, there is something very
much amiss in the prefecture. An uncomfortable air of forced
self-assurance pervades many towns, and the general message of “all
is well” is repeated ad nauseam, with those who go against the
grain met with disdain and reproach."

“Despite
evacuating Fukushima in the summer and coming to live in Yamagata
Prefecture, I make occasional trips back to the area. I have come to
be feel quite alarmed by the way of thinking and the overall feeling
in the air within Fukushima, and I feel that these attitudes have
become more and more common in recent times. From doctors and
hospital staff to schools and city officials, the message being
repeated over and over is that Fukushima is safe, so much so that I
have come to feel that, if I didn’t go along with it and join in
this way of thinking, then I would simply not be welcome there."

“The
government has created an environment wherein people are going about
their daily lives, all the time wondering whether their child will
develop cancer or leukemia, yet conditioned not to breathe a word
about it. It’s like living in wartime Japan again.”

"A
U.N. nuclear watchdog team said Monday that Japan may need longer
than the projected 40 years to decommission its tsunami-crippled
nuclear plant and urged its operator to improve plant stability."

The
head of the International Atomic Energy Agency team, Juan Carlos
Lentijo, said Monday that damage at the Fukushima Daiichi plant is so
complex that it is “impossible” to predict how long the cleanup
may last.

“As
for the duration of the decommissioning project, this is something
that you can define in your plans. But in my view, it will be nearly
impossible to ensure the time for decommissioning such a complex
facility in less than 30-40 years as it is currently established in
the roadmap,”
